Rapmaster2000:What's the Streisand Effect? Is that when conservatives call women ugly because they're liberals?

TrueConservativeStudman69 I would definitely NOT hit it. Just look at those big thighs! She is way below my standards. I will continue to ogle Starla, Brandi, and the other waitresses at the Waffle House thankyouverymuch.

Dont be obtuse. The Streisand effect is when something becomes more public due to your attempts to try to hide it. Made famous by Barbara Streisand who attempted to have publicity photos of her house removed only to have them spread everywhere as a result of her outrage. Its one of the more interesting internet phenomenons.

I love that people still think you can "take things off the internet". If she didn't ask those pictures to be removed, it wouldn't be a story and I for one would never have seen them. And I'd be happier for it.

KatjaMouse:Well that was misleading. A celebrity asking Getty Images, a pay for stock photo site that also sells stock images of celebrities and world leaders, to not make unflattering images available for purchase. And they obliged. I don't think she's literally going after the internet. She just doesn't want to click a yahoo link in the future and see those pictures accompanying a story about her.

If you RTFA, I think you'll find that it was Kanye West who asked his photos be taken down from Getty. The headline is correct and the bulk of the article was about Beyonce asking for her photos to be removed from Buzzfeed.
